Cafe Eclectic in Memphis, TN

Cafe Eclectic is tucked away in Midtown, in the beautiful Evergreen District, just around the corner from the Memphis Zoo & Overton Park. The moment we stepped through the door, we were in love. There was a case of fresh breads, pastries, coffee & homemade preserves that made us feel right at home. It reminded me of a down home Cafe Expresso. And they have outdoor patio seating that's goes perfectly with a warm cup of coffee and buttery blueberry scone. We opted to visit the cafe for our Sunday supper. Knowing we would definitely be back for breakfast.

Some of the menu items had been 86'd (restaurant lingo for this stuff is so good, it got devoured): Chicken Pot Pie & Mac & Cheese, so we will have to try them next time.

The homemade Peach & Mixed Berry preserves

both caught our eyes

Homemade Glazed Donuts

oh, I think I sense an addiction forming quickly

Awww, Blueberry Scones

it was all I could do to not have them package up every one of them...we are definitely going back for breakfast cause these are a must

Homemade salad dressings

this is how you know you have hit a jackpot, I always ask if dressings are made in house, Avocado Ranch...5 stars, loved it

Chicken & Pineapple Panini

This dish is the perfect combination of sweet & savory with the roasted tomatoes, juicy pineapple with fresh spinach, a little mayo and all on the BEST (lightly grilled) homemade ciabatta bread I have EVER put in my mouth. I even begged them to let me buy some but they don't sell it to the public. Little do they know I don't give up that easy ;) Served with a side salad & homemade avocado ranch that was fantastic!

Welcome!

Hi, I am Angie & a southern girl from Memphis, Tennessee. This is my collection of recipes that started back in 2009 & kept going strong til my grandmother passed away. After some time off, I am back & ready to share what's been going on. My husband, Burk & I are both on a weigh-loss journey & attempting to embrace a much healthier lifestyle. We are also HUGE supporters of eating healthy local foods, from local farmers. As you scroll down this page, know that each entry is part of my journey back to a healthier life. I am so thankful that God is leading me through this. In February 2013, I made the switch to gluten free & I feel better than ever. Today, I am slowly incorporating more vegetarian & sometimes vegan recipes. We still occasionally eat meat (mostly because of the hubby) but it's not the front runner, like before. I plan on sharing successes & failures alike, if it fails I will learn from it. Thanks for stopping by & I always love hearing from you.
